The Write Stuff

For many people, creative writing sounds fun but intimidating. "I'm not good at that," they think, without even knowing where they’d start. Experienced writers, on the other hand, may know exactly where to start, but have plenty of other excuses for not putting pen to paper: too busy, too tired, or the dreaded "writer's block."

The solution for both is the same: just start writing. This handy workbook will give you plenty of fun, low-pressure opportunities for you to get your imagination flowing. Collected from the minds and notebooks of the San Francisco Writers' Grotto, the book's prompts range from personal reflection, to silly lyric writing, to character development, and everything in between and beyond. Take them seriously or just have fun. Grab a pen, open this book to any page, and find the writer inside you. Printed in China.

Too bad it isn't "Made in the USA"....Why CHINA?? A Proud American should Buy American!

AnitaVote: Thumbs up!

Not a writer myself but I thought this looked like it would be interesting to use.

KimVote: Thumbs down!

Sell these in my store cheaper

HollyVote: Thumbs down!

eh. That price plus shipping? Not really worth it. Cute design though. Also, why is it made in China?

ChristineVote: Thumbs up!

Very cool!

AlyshaVote: Thumbs down!

I could see this being entertaining for about a day or two and then ending up getting lost on a bookshelf.

AshleyVote: Thumbs up!

This is a really cool, different idea! I would totally buy this book-seems good as a gift, or for yourself! The price is actually pretty decent too. Very clever and thought-provoking!~*(*^_^*)*~

TianaVote: Thumbs up!

This would also make a nice journal. It's a paper blog! All your random thoughts minus the embarrassing Internet trail.

SondraVote: Thumbs down!
